In 121 type 2 diabetics on clopidogrel after revascularization, blood MOTS‑c below 167 ng/ml predicted major adverse cardiac events (relative risk 3.8) over 2 years.
In plain wordsIn people with type 2 diabetes and heart disease, a low level of the body's own MOTS‑c was linked to more heart events.

HPR, β-amyloid > 51 pg/ml and MOTS-c < 167 ng/ml were predictors of MACE (relative risk 3.1, 3.5 and 3.8 respectively, p < 0.05) after adjusting for confounders and medication.

In 121 type II diabetics, treated with clopidogrel and aspirin, (93 males, mean age 67.2 years) we measured: (a) maximum platelet aggregation to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) by light transmission aggregometry (LTAmax), (b) malondialdehyde (MDA), as oxidative stress marker, (c) MOTS-c, (d) β-amyloid blood levels.
This result measures the body's own MOTS-c. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
